To those who mean so much to me....

A while ago Heidi posted about her best friends. I thought it was so sweet and wanted to copy her, but I didn't. This week has thrown me some punches and I feel like I need to show more gratitude to those who brighten my day.

Now I had to narrow this down, because there are so many that have touched my life. So please know that even if you are not on this list I am grateful for all those who have blessed my life. Sorry I didn't have pictures of everyone.

Heidi Clark...She in an inspiration to me. I don't think she realizes how amazing I think she is. Her testimony and Faith is truly inspirational. She is an amazing friend and I am so glad that she is my friend.

Amanda Fralick...This girl would walk through fire for just about anyone. She loves and serves those around her unconditionally. I feel so lucky to know her.

Arianne Taylor...I hope she knows how much I like her. I have seen her transform before my eyes. When I first met her she was shy and quiet. Through her own struggles I have seen her sad which made me really sad, because I like her so much. Now I see this amazing Wife, Mother and Daughter of God. The first time I talked to her I remember thinking that I wanted to be her friend.

Pierre and Lyndsey...I had to mention Pierre since my daughter has a crush on him. Seriously though, I think these two are so awesome. They are committed to doing what the Lord would have them do no matter how hard it maybe. You two are awesome!

Katie Stock...Katie is the first person I became really close to here in Eagle Mountain and although the combination of our busy callings, make it hard to spend as much time together as we used to I will always consider her one of my closest Friends. She is such a great mother. Her girls are so sweet. She is such a great Primary President. She takes such good care of our children and they love her. Thank You Katie for all you teach me.

Laurie Ercanbrack...This lady can cut a mean haircut. She is willing to squeeze in an appt for me whenever and it is a lot! Aside from cutting hair, she is such a fun person to be with. She is full of life and makes me happy every time I talk to her.

Kathy Sue, Bridgette and Amberlyne...Now I debated if I should lump the 3 together, because they all mean so much to me in so many different ways, but as my Presidency they keep me sane. I learn so much from them and wonder why I am the President and they are my councilors. I am so grateful to serve with them and learn and grow through all the mistakes I make that they pick up the pieces from.

Amy Kawa...Seriously if you don't know this girl, you live a sad life. She is the funnest girl I have ever known. I can totally be myself around her. She brings the kid out in me and I am grateful for that. She has taught me more about getting through tough times more then anyone I know. I love you Amy!

Preston and Mandy Dean...I am grateful for these two for several reasons, but mostly because they brought karaoke into my life. =) These two are so funny. Spencer and I can spend hours hanging out with them. We talk about anything and everything and that is what makes them such great Friends.

Flavio and Niki...If you know these two I don't think you could make a list like this without having them on it. I know I can count on them for anything. I have learned so much about trusting in the Lord by their example. They have been through so much and never let their Faith waver. I see the blessings of their Faith every time I look at wonderful Hannah and sweet little Lia. I know that the Lord will bless us when we stay close to him and these two are my personal testimony of that.

Jeff and Bethy...Nothing I could say could do justice to how I feel about them. They are the kind of friends that you want to sell a house that you love just so you can live next door to them. Or reconsider moving to another state, because it is just too far away from them. They are the kind of friends that you become so close to that my daughter calls Lindsay her little Sister. I have only known them for a few years, but I can't imagine not having them in my life. I know they will always have my back. They are so great in so many ways. Bethy is such a patient Mom. I learn so much from her. I am grateful for Jeff and the friendship he and Spencer have. We love you guys!

Dad, Mom, Matt, Jenny, Josh, Jake and Seth...I love my Family and although I rarely get to talk to them they mean so much to me. I hope that one day I will be closer to them. (this pic is missing 2 6 month old baby boys and there is one more girl on the way...for now)

Last but not least Spencer and Ashlee...I am so lucky to have a daughter like Ashlee. She is sweet, funny, beautiful, happy, dramatic and loves Jesus. She has saved me in so many ways. She is the reason my testimony is what it is today. Before her I was wishy washy and she changed all that. Her being born made me want to commit my life to serving my Heavenly Father. He trusted me with her Spirit and for that I will be forever grateful. I am also so lucky to have the most lovey dovey mushy gushy Husband in the world. You may not know it by looking at him, but he is a hopeless romantic. I married him when I was 19 and we have grown up together. Life has not been easy on our relationship, but we are together and I love him so much. He works hard and would do anything for Ashlee and I. I hope that he will always know of my love and affection for him.
